Accessible via a half-mile gravel road, Wildcat Bluff County Park provides 21 campsites along the Cedar River in eastern Iowa. Most sites include electric hookups, with primitive camping available for $10 and electric sites for $16. The campground operates first-come, first-served with boat access available nearby, though flooding can make vehicle access to the boat launch impassable during high water periods.
The park features a 21-hole disc golf course and connects to the 52-mile Cedar Valley Nature bike trail. Reviewers consistently note bathroom facilities need attention, with some recommending self-contained units. Cell service is limited. The campground typically sees light use even during holiday weekends, offering both sunny and shaded site options for RVs and tent campers seeking a quiet riverside stop.
